25 year old bike more fun than the latest and greatest

They both admit the 90bhp 916 is more fun than the 200bhp+ V4

Less is sometimes so much more.

I found the 916 engine to be lumpy. It put me off V twins.

It is...mine is very different though. The 748 likes revs.

The engine is not a new design 25 years ago.
